The research was done in 2004 by neuroscientists from seven universities across the US. The Cognition Consortium looked closely at the connection between people who have higher academic performance and their training in the arts.

The research findings could be helpful to arts educators as well as the larger community including policy makers. The summary of the report can be read by clicking here.  The entire research can be downloaded at the Dana Foundation site.
